-Mental Math constitutes an intersection of mental tricks and math- instead of utilizing a purely math-only solution, textual manipulations or simplifications in the computational process may take place enabling an individual to, once having learned the process, solve such problems in their head, and typically without the use of a calculating device.+Mental Math constitutes an intersection of mental techniques and math- instead of utilizing a purely math-only solution, textual manipulations or simplifications in the computational process may take place enabling an individual to, once having learned the process, solve such problems in their head, and typically without the use of a calculating device.

-While not outwardly a difficult procedure, the nature of multiplying multiple digit numbers in your head can quickly result in more steps (and more steps means more time).+While not outwardly a difficult procedure, the nature of multiplying multiple digit numbers in your head can quickly result in more steps (and more steps means more time, if doing things the traditional way).
  
 Finding a shortcut through this process enables it to remain solidly within the realm of mental math, and makes for a good algorithm to practice implementing on the computer. Finding a shortcut through this process enables it to remain solidly within the realm of mental math, and makes for a good algorithm to practice implementing on the computer.
